Become a student assistant (WHK) with UPtransition
As part of the UPtransition qualification program, you can gain valuable practical experience at the University of Potsdam. Each semester, around 10 participants in the program will be employed as student assistants (WHKs) at chairs or university institutions for a maximum of one year. Working as a WHK offers you the opportunity to apply previously acquired skills in practice alongside your studies. You will also gain insights into a scientific or science-related professional field.
All participating institutions and chairs at the University of Potsdam offer specific projects for which you can apply. You also have the opportunity to propose your own projects for a WHK job. We will be happy to support you in finding ideas.
After the start of a round of the qualification program (every semester), we publish the WHK jobs for all participants here. If you are interested in a WHK job, you will go through a classic application process with application documents and selection interviews - we will accompany you if necessary.
Please note: If you are accepted for a student assistant position, you must provide a large number of documents for the recruitment. Once these have been submitted, the HR department will need up to three months to make the appointment.
